Rich text editor problem

Hi,
I'm using stellent 7.5.1.
I cannot upload pics and/or update text via the rich text editor .. The editor field opens, but just stays grey, i.e. they don’t have any option of entering or saving text.
I have even checked Java version its fine.
Do i need to change any config setting to enable to editor again?
Thanks

The 7.5 editor uses an ActiveX plugin, so it only works in Internet Explorer. There may also be security settings in Internet Explorer that might interfere with the way it works.
If you get it going, try this article for some enhancements to the editor.

Making Rich Text Editor with PHP in Dreamweaver - Problem with CKEditor...

Hi,
I am developing a website in Dreamweaver and using the platform of PHP and MYSQL. I need to develop a Rich Text Editor just like the one I am typing at the moment. With my recent searches I have come across with CKEditor as one of the possibilities to add a Rich Text Editor to my website. I have seen older versions of CKEditor also known as FCKEditor which I believe unfortunatley is out of date and obsolete now (discontinued). I cannot find any of the downloads now from anywhere on the web.
I can find FCKEditor tutorials with PHP, but can not find CKEditor tutorials for PHP (when I try googling it, it always gives me FCKEditor page). Can anyone please help me and tell me if I can still make Rich Text Editor using CKEditor and PHP?
If yes, please guide me how? Any tutorials or reading material will be very helpful.
Regards,
Bilal . Khan

Yes, you absolutely can use CKEditor to create a rich text editor with PHP/MySQL.I have tried several editors and it's my choice.
Here is a link to the documentation page:
http://docs.cksource.com/
CKFinder is also very good in conjunction with CKEditor. Although it costs $59/per website, it's better than the free alternatives.

Rich text editor (apex 4.0)

using blue gray theme and a page with a rich text editor. Expanding the rich text options displays the text body p below the text area that persists even if you close the rich text options. Anybody know how to get rid of that behavior?

I think your mixing 2 technologies.
At 1 side you have xml in combination with xsl (style sheets used in BI Publisher and FOP) to generate your pdf. And at the other side you have HTML...
XML and HTML are 2 entirely different technologies which you can not mix this simple. I investigated the same problem as you had, and in the end I ended up using jasperreports instead of FOP.
Maybe BI Publisher has some html regions which you could insert into your word document but I doubt it cause more people have asked the same question on this board...
So my advice: use jasperreports (also it is free for commercial usage)

Why can't I cut or paste in my wiki rich text editor

the browswer does a lovely job of viewing my pbworks classroom page but i cannot type, cut, or paste in PBWorks' rich text editor mode so i can't edit from my phone and i suspect i will find the same problem when we switch to ipads next fall. any help?

This problem should be at least partly fixed in Firefox 5, which will be released later this month. If you'd like to help us test the fix now, you can download Firefox Beta from the Android Market:

Max characters in a Rich Text Editor?

Is there a "hard limit" on the number of characters I can enter into a Rich Text Editor?
My testing suggests that you can only have 4000 characters. If i submit more than 4000 i.e. 4001, I get the following error message:
ORA-01461: can bind a LONG value only for insert into a LONG column
The data type I am trying to insert into is of type CLOB (which if memory serves can store upto 4 GIG).
We are using Oracle Application Server (Apache and MOD_PLSQL) so I imaging that there is possible a limit here as well with how much data can be posted.
Thanks for any help.
Duncs

Hi Duncs,
I tried to reproduce your problem on our internal development system but was not able to do so. What did I do?
1) Created a new table with the following statement
CREATE TABLE DEPT_WITH_CLOB
   (     "DEPTNO" NUMBER(2,0),
     "DNAME" VARCHAR2(14),
     "LOC" VARCHAR2(13),
     "MORE_TEXT" CLOB,
      PRIMARY KEY ("DEPTNO") ENABLE
   ) ;2) Created a new application with a "Report and Form" based on the DEPT_WITH_CLOB table.
3) Modified P2_MORE_TEXT to use Rich Text Editor as item type.
4) Executed the page and entered a text which was more than 18,000 char long
5) Clicked apply changes and everything was stored without a problem.
Can you provide more information about your system?
1) APEX version
2) Database Version
3) Do you use database links in your apps or do other applications use database links?
4) If yes, which database version are those databases?
5) If you are able to reproduce the problem on apex.oracle.com that would also be of great help.
Thanks

Print PDF rich text editor using BI Publisher

Hi !
I have a CLOB field from database, and I store data using a rich text editor, like a MS Word system, here as you know, I can write words in bold format, use differents kind of colors, etc... and use all formatted text that the editor allow me. I haven't problems once save this data into table and restore again, I can see all this data formatted , and I don't loose any property of this formatted text.
The problem is when I want print this information in the same way that I can see in the rich text editor. I use BI Publisher for generate a PDF, when I send this field for print a PDF, the PDF that BI publisher generate, print only text, prints all characters including generating that text is formatted, for example, if the field is written in bold print "<b>hello</b>" in the PDF generated by BI Publisher see "< b. > hello < / b>".
Please which is the way for print the same as is displayed in the rich text editor?
Thanks in advance.

Bump Again. I understand how to remove the HTML tags, thats not a problem. The problem is getting the report to print the data from a Rich Text Field stored in a CLOB or NCLOB as formatted text. Is there a "Master Style Template" or "Master Rich Text Field Subtemplate"?

Rich Text Editor with Custom Text Attribute

Hello All,
We are using the latest version of Oracle Portal 10G. I have a need to create custom Attributes of the type text to let people enter a lot of text. But when User are in edit mode of an item where this custom attribute is used, the Rich Text Editor is not shown for entering the Text for the Custom Text Attribute. It shows a normal html text area. Has anyone ever used RTE with Custom Attribute?
I request you guys for help.
Thanks.

The Problem with the Custom Attribute is not solved, but I have now compromised with the Situation and now I am not using a Custom attribute.
Rather, Now I am creating a Custom Item Type using Base Text Type (earlier i wanted to create custom item type at my own without any base item type). In this case now I will not be able to change the Lable of the RTE (that is "Text", when the Custom Item is in Edit Mode), but I hope that my users can understand that much.
I have created a template for portal pages. In the Template I can edit the Region Properties. When I edit the Region property of the region where I want to display my Custom Items. I get two Tabs on the top, Main and Attributes/Style. ON the main tab I can tell what type of region it should be, width etc, in my case it is item type region. And on the Attributes/Style tab, I can select from the availabe Attributes as which all Attributes I want to display. Here if i select only "Associated Functions" Attribute then normally portal should not render anything by default on the Page. It should rather make a call to the procedure which is associated with the Custom Item and as when I was creating the custom item type, I had clicked on "Display Procedure Results With Item", so portal should now display the result of my Procedure. So far it works without problem.
But the problem is that the Portal displays the text at its own also. As i have written that Portal should not display anything at its own, this doesn't work in this version of Portal for a Custom Item Type that is made using Base Text Item Type. For all others it has worked till now (I have create 50s of Custom item types).
You can better understand by going to the following URL. Just have a look between the two dotted lines (Dotted line is also a seperate Custom Item Type). Between the two Dotted Lines is a custom item, in general it would be a Custom News Item having title, image and so on.
http://sunnode1.edvz.sbg.ac.at:7778/portal/page?_pageid=79,56047&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTAL
I have really programmed a lot with portal but now at this stage where I am near to end, I am getting problems which are coming from Product. I request you for help.

Rich Text Editor not showing up

Hi. I've installed OracleAS 10g Rel 2.
When I try to add text using IE6 the text area is just gray. I have tried to change different attributes in IE but its still gray. I dont know how to debug IE either, I normally use firefox.
Any ideas how I can debug IE, or what I should change on my IE to make the rich text editor show up.
(btw, the installation is on my laptop, using XP pro. Not supportet but generally works fine. I know ppl at Oracle have this working on XP so it should not be the issue).

hi terje,
i just tested this on my 10.1.2 installation using IE6 and it works fine. so it seems not to be any general issue.
2 things i would check:
- does a java scrip error occur on the page when you add/edit a text item. you see this in the left lower corner of the browser.
- check the log files on the application server mid-tier.
- but before starting debugging i would go to another pc and try to access your portal from there. this will show you if your client machine is the problem or if the portal installation is the problem.
regards,
christian

Pasting from the clipboard using SharePoint 2010 rich text editor

Currently we are using Microsoft SharePoint 2010. In the Rich Text Editor their is a Paste option in which a user can copy from say a Word document and paste it in their content place holder. Right now I recieve an error message when trying to use the paste button " Your browser is not configured to allow access to your computer’s clipboard. Use Control+X for Cut, Control+C for Copy, and Control+V for paste". I cannot use the paste button for whatever reason. I have tried to change my javascript file within FireFox and it still doesnt work. After working with Microsoft on the problem they informed me that it was FireFox causing the problem and suggested I contact you for information or possible fixes.

Portlet editor's rich text editor gives javascript error 'access denied'

I created a header portlet using the Publisher's published content portlet template. When I try to edit the portlet content using the rich text editor in the portlet editor window, I get a javascript error in the status bar stating 'access denied'. I can't even type into the rich text editor window, it's totally disabled. Not that I see anything in there anyway. I'm logged in as admin. I've gone into the publisher explorer admin portlet and even 'published' the portlet's content, but to no avail. When I try to 'add header portlet' in my experience definition and try to use this portlet, nothing shows up, where the header portlet should be is just collapsed so my banner is just the top bar view bumped right on top of the nav view. (p.s. does anyone know how to take the alui doc's suggestion of 'disabling the topbar view and nav view' so that I can construct what I want entirely in a header portlet? Anyway, first things first, how do I get that access denied message to disappear in my header portlet's rich text editor and how the heck do I get it show up? Help.

There's probably not a developer in the forum that doesn't uncheck that box the moment they rebuild their machine/ennvironment. Changing the format of error messaging is hardly a fix for the error itself. Personally, I'm uploading 'file content items' now. I create the content in notepad and then upload > file content item. Then create a portlet that uses the pre-existing (was installed w/ publisher using their pte) 'published content item' web service. Go into the portlet's settings and associate the portlet w/ the content item you uploaded. Voila.
As far as using their rich text editor to create new content, I personally have no need anymore. However I'm sure our content managers will probably have to soon so I hope our latest installation will accommodate them w/o error, because I've never been aware of an actual fix to this problem.

Div ids are not persisting in rich text editor of CQ5.6

Hi,
     I created a rich text widget and I added plugins. I activated "misctools" plugin also. I clicked on "sourceedit" and paste the code which contains ids for divs like -
<div id="onboarding" class="row onboarding-content scroller">
</div>
After that I clicked ok and again I opened the dialog. But I'm unable to see id. It shows only -
<div class="row onboarding-content scroller">
</div>
I also created "htmlRules/serializer/config" nodes of type nt:unstructured under the richtext editor widget. It worked in 5.5 but not in 5.6.
Whats the problem behind this? Please suggest me the solution for this. Let me know if there is any other way to persist div ids in richtext editor of cq5.6
Regards,
Arya.

Hi,
     Try this to persist div ids in rich text editor in cq5.6
     Create a folder structure similar to "/libs/cq/ui/rte/core/HtmlSerializer.js" in apps as "/apps/cq/ui/rte/core/HtmlSerializer.js". Make sure that the folder structure and node types are as same as in libs. Then set "idAttribMode" to "keep" in "_init" function of HtmlSerializer.js. It will work
Thanks,
Arya.

Display instantly the length of the text entered in the rich text editor

Hi everybody,
I'm developing an apex application with apex 4.1.1 and Oracle 11.2.
I have a page in which I have a form that allows to create a new message on the database.
A message has a title, description, text and date.
For the text I use the item "rich editor text". The problem is that item doesn't show the length of characters entered (character counter for the textarea). In the database the corresponding column is varchar2(2000). What I do is a validation after submit that checks if the limit 2000 was exceeded or not.
But what I want to do more is to display instantly the length of the text entered in the editor. I have tried to do that through a dynamic action. But the event "onChange" for the item "rich text editor" didn't work.
Has anyone any idea about that issue?
Thanks for helping.
Kind regards,

sorry about that, I missed that tidbit in your OP... well I think there is a good reason why there isn't a count character option -- due to the hidden "html" characters responsible for the "richness" (bold/color, etc) applied to the text would be difficult to count true characters.. if I was bent on doing this, I'd continue using the item you are using, but have a HIDDEN text area that is updated via javascript onkeyup for each keystroke (again, keeping in mind you'd have to filter certain keys) and then that intelligence could be used. I would probably dig through the javascript responsible for the rich text editor (is it still fckeditor??) -- there might already be code in there that isn't clearly visible to you that does this already.. alas, I see now the validity of your challenge.

Calling APEX page in Rich Text Editor Content

In my application I am using the Rich Text Editor to allow users to enter a block of text that is rendered within a page. In some cases, they would like to link to other pages in the application from within that block. The problem I am having is figuring out how to use a relative URL (f?p) path and maintain the session ID. If I try to enter f?p=&APP_ID.:1:&APP_SESSION.as the link expression from within the editor, the resulting HTML comes out<a href="http://f?p=&APP_ALIAS.:home:&APP_SESSION.">Any ideas on how to do this such that the substitution strings get processed properly would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Here what you can do with substitution problem
Create procedure
create or replace PROCEDURE editor_url(p VARCHAR2)
AS
BEGIN
f (p => v('APP_ID') || ':' || p || ':' || v('APP_SESSION'));
END;
Create public synonym
CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM editor_url FOR your_schema.editor_url;
Grant execute on procedure for DAD user
GRANT EXECUTE ON editor_url TO APEX_PUBLIC_USER; -- OHS or APEX Listener in use
GRANT EXECUTE ON editor_url TO ANONYMOUS; -- EPG
Then in editor link url you enter
editor_url?p=1
That will then you then to page 1 and procedure handles app id and session substitution

Publisher 6.5 - unable to expand Rich Text Editor window

Hello,
We upgraded from publisher 6.2 to 6.5. Now when we go the Rich Text Editor - we cannot vertically expand the window. That option is gone. The problem is we have some content pages that are long, our content editors cannot view the whole screen to get a view, whereas they had the option is 6.2.
Since this is a java app (i think) - is there something in the config that would allow that ability to come back?
Thanks,



(guess you can paste in images from Word....)

We had the same problem with the Dutch Locale.
Switching to English, German or French got us the toolbar back.
Looking in the generated html for the Publisher Explorer:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://<%your server%>/imageserver/plumtree/content/private/dojo/dojo/dojo.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://<%your server%>/imageserver/plumtree/content/private/dojo/dojo/nls/dojo_nl.js"></script>
Preliminary research finds a .js file missing, namely dojo_nl.js.
I made a copy of dojo_en.js, replaced all .en by .nl and it works.
Also the formatting needed changes for the Dutch Locale.
I think other files needs to be present. But i can't determine which dojo version is used.
It got us at least the toolbar back.
A support call was opened.

Gmail: can't see: rich text editor, attachment icon, themes (just colors) - ever since upgrading to 3.5, still in 3.6

With Gmail, I can't see the following
* Rich Text Editor
* The paper clip icon for attachments
* Background themes (just plain colors)
have had this problem since 3.5. Just got 3.6, no difference. Gmail appears fine in IE, also on Firefox on other machines. I'm using a Vista Home Premium machine.

dslate, do you have any addons installed? If you do please try disabling them within about:addons.
If you then can see your icons again, try enabling each one until you see the problem again.
My guess is that it may be that you have a corrupt list for adblock plus. If adblock plus is causing your issue, please try unsubscribing and then resubscripting within addblock plus.
Hopefully that would resolve your issue.
